Further discussion <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan stated she would prefer not to make the lots quite so small given the fact <br />this would increase the number of lots and therefore increase traffic. She explained she would <br />prefer to have 2 or 2.5 acre lots. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer commented he shared this same concern as well. He feared that this <br />development would set the tone for future developments along Trott Brook. However, if the lots <br />were smaller in order to protect the brook, this was another matter. He recommended the <br />Planning Commission review the Comprehensive Plan in order to address the total preservation of <br />Trott Brook. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson stated the properties to the east were one acre in size, which was not too <br />far out of alignment with the proposed development. He explained he supported the preservation <br />of the 15 acres along Trott Brook and for this reason, he was willing to compromise on the lot <br />size. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.

Please note that this has been revised from when the Planning Commission last saw <br />the concept (originally closer to 350 lots; a number of the townhome lots have been removed. A <br />Sketch Plan affords the Planning Commission the opportunity to review a project before it enters <br />the official Preliminary Plat stage. The Preliminary Plat (future step) is the most important step in <br />the review process and gives the project 'entitlement' to the project. Staff reviewed the plan in <br />detail with the Commission and requested feedback on the sketch plan. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer believed this was an impressive application. He commended the developer <br />and landowner for putting together a detailed packet of information for the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/April 6, 2017 <br />Page 6 of 12 <br /> <br />
